OVERVIEW
The OnTrac® Boiler Management System is designed to perform all of the function of a typical BMS. OnTrac® however is designed to work in concert with the individual boiler controls to maintain optimum load matching and balanced boiler runtime. OnTrac® will communicate with the boiler controls over an RS485 Serial Bus and through the Modbus RTU protocol. Communicating with the existing boiler controls accomplishes complete coordination without diminishing the unique operational features of the boiler. OnTrac® also has the capability of operating a “2 Tier” hydronic boiler system. This front‐end loaded system uses high efficiency condensing boilers to serve as the primary heat source for the majority of the heating season but uses less expensive non‐condensing boilers for additional heat when the system load is exceptionally high. Much of the information contained in this document is also present on the Help Screens accessible on the OnTrac®. MAIN MENU SCREEN
The Main Menu will appear when the control is powered up. From this screen most user adjustable parameters are accessible. 
The QUICK SETUP screen may be the first screen the user will access in order to set up the most basic system. This screen allows the user to quickly commission most hydronic boiler systems. 
The LEAD/LAG SETUP TIER 1 screen will give the user access to all the parameters needed to set up the most common single Tier boiler system. This screen contains parameters such as the number of boilers and the System Set Point. Riverside Hydronics®, LLC –

6. Once you have entered the Pr2 menu press the DOWN key three times and the parameter Adr will appear on the screen as follows: 7. Now press the SET key once and the number will begin to blink. Use the arrow key to set the address from (1 to 20). The address range (1 to 12) is reserved for Tier 1 boilers only. The address range (13 to 20) is reserved for Tier 2 boilers. 8. Each boiler should be assigned a different address in order for proper communication to occur. CHANGING THE TIME CLOCK
The OnTrac® may require that the real time clock be set to match the local time. To change the time, go to the OPTION menu and then the OPTION 2 TIME screen. Use the individual data entry buttons at the bottom left corner of the screen. The SET DAY button is for the day of the week 1 to 7 (Sunday to Saturday). Remember to use a 24 hour clock for all Ontrac® setup parameters. Riverside Hydronics®, LLC –

QUICK
SETUP
OF
A 1 OR 2 TIER SYSTEM
This section will provide the necessary instructions for quickly commissioning a one or two Tier boiler system. 1. Once the boiler addresses have been assigned, add up the total number of boilers in your first Tier and enter that number in the FIRST TIER BOILERS box. If your boiler system only contains one type of boiler, condensing only or non‐condensing, skip step 2. 2. Enter the total number of boilers in your second Tier in the SECOND TIER BOILERS box. In a two Tier boiler system, Tier 2 would contain the Non‐condensing boilers. If Tier 2 is intended for independent operation, see page 20 for setup instructions. 3. Set the SYSTEM SETPOINT. 4. The SYSTEM SENSOR is automatically turned on and assigned to boiler 1 probe 3. Confirm that the SYSTEM TEMPERATURE is registering a sensed temperature. 5. Your system should now be operational.

SETUP OF THE OUTDOOR RESET FUNCTION
This section will provide the necessary information to quickly set up the basic Outdoor Reset function. Once the boiler Tiers have been structured, the Outdoor Reset function can be added. 1. The outdoor sensor must be wired and turned on by pressing the TURN ON OUTDOOR SENSOR button. Note that the outdoor sensor location is boiler 2 sensor 3 by default. See the OnTrac Installation Guide (34‐151) for wiring details. Once the sensor is connected confirm that the temperature is registering here. 2. The default outdoor temperature at which the function will begin to reset the system set point OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE THRESHOLD is 30°F. Change this value as required. 3. The MAXIMUM SHIFT OF SETPOINT is set at 10°F. As the outdoor temperature drops this will be the maximum increase in the System Set Point allowed. Change this value as required. 4. The OUTDOOR TEMP BAND WIDTH is the temperature range below the OUTDOOR TEMP THRESHOLD over which OnTrac® will reset of the Set Point. 5. The OUTDOOR SHUTDOWN TEMP is the outdoor temperature at which the OnTrac® will disable all boiler operation. 6. When the settings are chosen and entered turn on the function OUTDOOR RESET. Example: Using the settings above, when the outdoor temperature drops below 30°F, the System Set Point will increase 1°F for every decrease in outdoor temperature of 2°F. This adjustment will occur until the outdoor temperature reaches 10°F. The SETPOINT BEFORE RESET and SETPOINT AFTER RESET display boxes will give a real time indication of the adjustment that is occurring. Riverside Hydronics®, LLC –

THE TIER 2 MENU
The TIER 2 menu will only be used when a “Front‐end Loaded” boiler system is applied. The 2 Tier system is designed to use high efficiency condensing boilers as the primary heat source for the majority of the heating season but use less efficient non‐condensing boilers for additional heat when the system load is exceptionally high. The OnTrac® does this by concentrating the distribution of load to the Tier 1 boilers while cycling the lead/lag priority. When the system load exceeds the capacity of Tier 1 OnTrac® will incrementally bring on the Tier 2 boilers also cycling the lead/lag priority of Tier 2. 
The first entry button is titled SECOND TIER BOILERS. Press this button and you will be prompted to enter the number of Tier 2 boilers in your system. This parameter will be the number of Tier 2 boilers only. The FIRST TIER BOILERS however should only reflect the number of Tier 1 boilers. 
The CYCLE PERIOD parameter will define the interval at which OnTrac® will change assignment of the lead boiler position. This value can be from (1 to 7 days). The cycle period will begin to the count down at the time of commissioning. 
CURRENT LEAD BOILER shows which Tier 2 boiler is currently assigned the lead boiler position. This does not affect the Tier 1 boilers. 
SYSTEM DIFFERENTIAL allows the user to define the temperature range over which the OnTrac® will seek to maintain temperature control. Range (5 to 15°F). Go to LEAD/LAG 2 to adjust this parameter. 

REMOTE EQUIPMENT CONTINUED

The WATER VALVE CONTROL switch will activate OnTrac® control of a hydronic isolation valve. This function is useful when boilers which can be installed in a single pipe, variable flow loop, are flow isolated when not used. This function will insure that a minimum water flow is maintained though the system, even when the call for heat has ended. The valve control contacts are rated for (3 Amps) and are located on the field access terminal strip of the boiler. REMOTE SETPOINT SCREEN
The REMOTE SETPOINT screen gives the user the tools to monitor and scale a 4 to 20mA input signal to adjust the System Set Point from a remote location. See OnTrac® Installation and Wiring Guide for wiring details.  The MINIMUM SETPOINT DEG F parameter will scale the lower end of the Set Point range corresponding to 4mA. This parameter can be set from 100 to 180°F.  The MAXIMUM SETPOINT DEG F parameter will scale the upper end of the Set Point range corresponding to 20mA. This parameter can be set from 120 to 200°F.  The REMOTE SETPOINT DEG F displays the calculated Set Point currently being sent to the OnTrac®.  The CURRENT INPUT (4 to 20mA) displays the current value of the analog signal being received. The GAUGE display provides the same information in a different format.  Example: Using the values displayed on the screen shown here we will illustrate a typical set up. In this case the user wants a signal of 4mA to communicate a System Set Point of 130°F. As the signal increases the Set Point will increase proportionally until at 20mA the maximum System Set Point of 180°F is achieved. Once you have entered you parameter, turn on the function.

TIER 2 INDEPENDENT OPERATION
The TIER 2 INDEPENDENT OPERATION, when activated, separates the function of Tier 1 and Tier 2. This effectively allows the user to control two separate hydronic systems with one OnTrac®. Tier 2 is assigned its own loop sensor, which can be connected to any boiler in the Tier 2 system. 
Assign the TIER 2 SENSOR ADDRESS. The default address is 13 but can be any address in the Tier 2 boiler system (13‐20). 
Push the button TURN ON T2 SYSTEM SENSOR to activate the sensor. 
Turn on the INDEPENDENT function. Although the TIER 2 INDEPENDENT OPERATION is controlled independently of Tier 1, the System Setpoint must be the same as Tier 1. Other control functions that act on the System Setpoint such as Outdoor Reset, Scheduled Setback and Remote Setpoint also act on Tier 1 and Tier 2 the same. Lead Lag functions such as CYCLE PERIOD, CYCLE OCCURS and SYSTEM DIFFERENTIAL setting are unique to each Tier and can be adjusted separately. Boilers in either Tier 1 or Tier 2 can be located up to 1000 meters from the OnTrac® control. Riverside Hydronics®, LLC –

TIER 2 CONTROL FUNCTION FOR NON-RH BOILERS
When non‐Riverside Hydronics boilers are operated as the Tier‐2 boilers, the optional TempTrac Boiler Control module can be applied as a fully functional operating control or used to enable and disable only. This screen allows that functional selection to be chosen for each boiler. 
The enable/disable (ON/OFF ONLY) button, when pushed, will program the TempTrac Control Module to turn the boiler on or off only. The modulation, staging and primary temperature regulation function will be controlled by the existing boiler controls. Warning: Do not disable the existing boiler controls or bypass the existing temperature limits. When the (ON/OFF ONLY) function is used the TempTrac temperature sensor can be used for displaying the boiler temperature only or left to display the room temperature. Do not disconnect sensor. 
The (FULL CONTROL) button will program the TempTrac Control Module to provide the full temperature regulation control and monitoring function. If your Tier‐2 boilers are Riverside Hydronics boilers, this is the default setting. If a non‐Riverside Hydronics boiler is used and full control is desired, the control module must be wired according to the OnTrac Installation and Wiring Guide (34‐151). The temperature sensor must be installed in a location that allows the control module to monitor the boiler water temperature. Warning: Do not bypass the existing boiler limits.

BAS CONNECTIVITY
The OnTrac can be connected to a Building Automation System via Ethernet and the Modbus TCP/IP protocol. This feature comes standard with all OnTrac models. The RJ45 connector is located in the control enclosure on the side of the PLC as shown below. The default IP setting are as follows:  IP Address 192.168.1.100  Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0  Gateway Address 192.168.1.0 If it is necessary to change the default address, you will need following items: The OnTrac programming cable (p/n114514) and the EZPLCNetConfig utility free for download. Follow the instructions below. 1. Turn off the on/off switch on the OnTrac. 2. Unplug the communication cable from the PLC. 3. Plug in the programming cable as shown. 4. The other end of the programming cable is a 9pin serial connector. The PC should have a serial port or a USB to serial adapter can be purchased inexpensively. 5. The EZPLCNetConfig application can be downloaded for free. Go to the following site: http://flash.ezautomation.net/manuals.php. 6. Register and then down load EZPLCNetConfig.

ALTERNATE PROTOCOL GATEWAY
When a BAS interface with OnTrac® requires a protocol other than Modbus TCP/IP, Riverside Hydronics offers a premapped gateway from FieldServer Technologies. The ProtoCessor ProtoNode RER. Currently BACnet IP/MSTP is supported. Consult factory for other protocols. 
The ProtoNode is an external protocol gateway and should be powered and located external to the OnTrac®. 
Communication with the OnTrac® is over TCP/IP. BACnet IP Eithernet (TCP/IP) Modbus TCP/IP A detailed explanation of the ProtoNode can be found in the following documents: Riverside Hydronics Setup Manual for BACnet Protocol Gateway applied to OnTrac® ‐ 34‐525 Web: http://protocessor.com/docs/pdf/ProtoCessor_Getting_Started.pdf Riverside Hydronics®, LLC –

BATTERY BACKUP
The OnTrac® has backup batteries to maintain the program when the system is without power. One is a
built-in 3V Lithium ion cell battery to maintain the PLC system RAM. The other is a ½ AA, 3.6V Lithium ion
cell battery to maintain the Panel. Typical battery life is 5 years, inclusive of PLC runtime and normal
shutdown periods. A Low Battery LED indicator gives a low battery voltage warning. To replace these
batteries perform the following steps:
Note: Leave the OnTrac® on while replacing the batteries or the program will be lost! 1. Open the front cover as shown in the illustration to access the control. Then remove the plastic cover to
access the batteries.
2. Gently remove the old battery and replace with a
new PLC battery (P/N 113718) (+) side upwards.
3. Remove and replace the Panel battery with
(P/N113717). PLC Battery P/N 113718 Panel Battery P/N 113717 Riverside Hydronics®, LLC –
